Hi all. I too had the problem, much the same way as I had with 14.04 LTS some months ago.
This time I followed this post and managed to uninstall fglrx-* packages and get my system to boot again:

But anyways, I agree with those who said that it's unpleasant to be faced with the issue of a non-functioning system basically within the last 3 releases or something. It could be OK for non-LTS releases, because you know you're about to get the bleeding edge software, but I hope that would not come again on the next LTS :)

In the meantime, a huge THANKS to all the people involved in the fix.
